Star visitors like Sergio Scariolo will also be speaking!

The first scientific conference was organized by the Methodology Center in Pécs on January 13–14, 2022, exactly two years ahead of the conference that is scheduled for January of next year. Since then, the National Basketball Academy has held three more of these outstanding events, all of which have been incredibly successful both nationally and internationally due to the excellent caliber of presentations provided by well-known professionals.

Excellent European and American experts accepted the invitation of the Euroleague winner László Rátgéber, stating that the conferences were extremely valuable, unique, and kind of curiosity in this genre.

The first person to present in Pécs was coach Geno Auriemma, a two-time Olympic and world champion, and the head coach of Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina, who spoke to the audience via recording. During the 2nd conference, among the plenary presenters were Nick Nurse who won the 2019 NBA championship with his team Toronto Raptors, and Robert “Bob” McKillop, who discovered Stephen Curry and set him on his path. On the 3rd conference, lectures were given by Neven Spahija, top European Basketball Coach with NBA Experience, and prof. dr. sc. Igor Jukic, High-performance specialist in sport. Finally, on the fourth event, participants could learn from Chris Finch, the head coach of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves.

Coach Sergio Scariolo of the Spanish men’s national team, a world and European champion, will be the star guest of the 5th International Basketball Conference! The 62-year-old professional, who was born in Brescia, Italy, is known as the Carlo Ancelotti of basketball. He is regarded as one of the best and most experienced coaches in Europe, a master tactician, and incredibly charismatic.

In his native country he was a club coach?, in Spain he led the Real Madrid, coached in Russia, and he was an assistant coach of Toronto Raptors for three years. In Spain, which has one of the most developed basketball cultures in Europe, he led the men’s national team: from 2009 to 2012 and from 2015 to the present.

The Spanish team, under his leadership, took home four European Championship titles (2009, 2011, 2015, 2022), two silver and three bronze medals from the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, and the right to take the top spot at the 2019 World Championships in China!
